What is PowerPoint?

PowerPoint is a complete presentation graphics package. It gives you everything you need to produce a professional-looking presentation. PowerPoint offers word processing, outlining, drawing, graphing, and presentation management tools- all designed to be easy to use and learn.

The following gives you a quick overview of what you can do in PowerPoint:

When you create a presentation using PowerPoint, the presentation is made up of a
series of slides. The slides that you create using PowerPoint can
also be presented as overhead transparencies or 35mm slides.

In addition to slides, you can print audience handouts, outlines, and speaker's notes.

You can format all the slides in a presentation using the powerful Slide Master
which will be covered in the tutorial.

You can keep your entire presentation in a single file- all your slides, speaker's
notes, and audience handouts.

You can import what you have created in other Microsoft products, such as Word
and Excel into any of your slides.

Now that you know what features PowerPoint offers it's time to learn how to
work in PowerPoint.
